A sequential, developmentally skill based, water awareness program for babies and toddlers from 4 months to 3 years of age, with a parent or carer in the water. Babies and parents are introduced to, and learn to love and respect the water in a fun and colourful environment using toys, songs and skill based activities that enhance confidence and the learning of basic safety and water skills which are reliant on education, not just entertainment. We believe that teaching skills slowly and well in a progressive, sequential program is vital to overall future stroke development.

Our emphasis is on babies learning to:

• submerge confidently only when displaying "readiness" and on cue
• demonstrate balance, buoyancy and adjustment
• on entry, turning back to, and grasping the wall
• roll and float on their back and kick to safety

Classes are held Monday – Friday mornings from 9am – 12 noonand Saturday mornings from 8am – 12.15pm. Each lesson is of a half hour duration.

Pre School

A specially designed, morning learn-to-swim program for 3 to 5 year olds, from beginner to advanced level.

Option 1:

PS 3-4 year old with a parent or carer. For either the child old enough but not yet ready to be in a class on their own, or those wishing to maximise constant movement in the class.

Option 2:

Class without a parent/carer.

Each option will be in a small group allowing the children to build confidence and learn swimming and safety skills at their own rate in a fun and sequentially structured, progressive program. Emphasis is on the development of a streamlined body position and efficient kick, as the basis for all strokes. Each lesson is of a half hour duration.

Classes are held Monday to Friday from 8:30am – 12 noonand Saturdays from 8am until 12.15pm.

Holiday Intensives

A 5 day intensive program is held in the second week of each holiday break and for the last 3 weeks of January prior to school returning. These are a great way of reinforcing skills learned in term programs and a boost for those children who are timid in the water.
